I like stretches - I do a yoga stretching routine for 30 minutes every other day. I shall keep an eye out for it on eBay

Things are very quiet here today - I've had a few of the other neighbours knock to tell me they were about to do what I did but I did it first. Hmmmmmmmm! Mr C has been escorted to collect some of his possessions and one of his many cars and Mrs C has imported her chav Mum to act as child minder (Burberry check shorts and boob tube??)

Whoa Sarah Ann, your neighbourhood is exciting! Good for you for a kick in the dangly bits...no less that Mr. C. deserved.

Last summer we had a conflab with our neighbs, 12.30 midnight we're sitting out back talking, my Mum and her man were over here and we hear all this yelling out front...I went upstairs into my son's room to find him awake and looking out his side window... the neighbour was staggering up and down his pathway yelling obsenities at the top of his lungs...we watched for a while and he kept banging on his front door, so we thought maybe he'd locked himself out...Hannah was awake by then too, so I woke Dave and asked him to go out and see what all the fuss was about.

He went out and asked the neighb, also Dave, what was up and neighb boy, got all bolshie and kept telling or trying to tell my Dave not to cross his threshold, it was quite funny as he was so piddled he couldn't say thershold, so said line instead after a couple of stumbles with the word. Dave told him he needed to quiet down and go indoors and he was still yelling obsenties at the door, his bloody great rottie was barking and howling from indoors and then he started to swing for Dave who dodged which wasn't hard as neighb was so drunk...I called the police then and we came back into our driveway.

The cops made me laugh as they parked by the side of my house and crept around to the front of our house with their guns drawn and torches, neighb boy was rolling and crawling through his front bushes by this time, swearing and thrashing about, and the cops asked us where he was...they wanted to surprise him with using torches, but as they passed my driveway, my sensor light came on and they were flooded in light!

He didn't notice anyway, he was too sh**faced to have a clue, they pulled him out the bushes and asked what he was doing and they called the fire dept and the paramedics, so we had five emergency vehicle out front....and they're not quiet in the middle of the night... neighb boy then started throwing up all over the cops and paramedics, and finally his girlfriend opened the front door... and asked what was happening? She told the cops that she thought he was upstairs asleep....turns out, he'd had a few pops at her and chased her out front, but she was quicker than him and got back inside and locked him out.

I don't know why she didn't call the police herself, she was really scared and had horrible bruises the next day, she had to police take him indoors and he passed out and she had a friend come and take her to her house, bus she came back the next day and asked my Dave to come with her into the house to collect some stuff as she was staying away from him....Dave went with her and neighb boy didn't have a clue what had happened, doesn't remember a thing...she didn't press charges against him, although she could have and he'd have woken up in jail the next day...she came back to him about two weeks later, and they say hi, if we see them out front, but they're a little too weird for my liking and I think he's still mad at us cos I called the police...but I'd do it again, so kudo's to you Sarah...and I also think the wife should have given you a lot more than flowers to thank you, but at least you got an appology....that's something at least...keep us posted. :)

By the way, it rained this morning, first time in about five months, was lovely to see little rain drops hitting the pool....humid as anything though, monsoon season is upon us :)

Have a good one all....

Wow, you all get far more excitement than I do! I think on balance I'll stay here though...

Busy day today, I ran 8 miles before work, have loads of stuff to finish off before I go on holiday, and had to interview someone to be my new assistant. I'm not sure about her, but on the basis we haven't had any more promising CVs through we may well ask her back for a second interview. Then I worked late and only got back at about 8.

For the first time in ages I've been having really bad fast food cravings. I think it was through working late and the fact that the bus stop is by a huge row of takeaways, but if I hadn't had food waiting for me in the fridge I think I'd have weakened. As it was I had some nut loaf and a vegetable stir fry planned, so I braved it out til I got home. Success!

Now I've just got loads of jobs to do, I'm out tomorrow night and Dad arrives on Friday morning, plus I've got to wash and pack for my holidays. I suppose I'd better get on with it rather than spending the rest of the evening on the internet...

And I might be getting my new iPod tomorrow :carrot:

Ick - I fell face-first into what little snack food we have lying around the house. DF came back so very late, I was bored and hungry so of course I ate lots, and then felt ill and pissed off with myself.

Never mind. I weighed myself this morning to concentrate the mind! Not a pretty sight. *sigh* Going to fake it again today! At least I will be occupying myself by kickboxing tonight, that should stop me raiding the cupboards!

interview 2day !.... and then going to see the sister & matron of the ward i really want to work .... as a practice educator.. so will be busy today !.....

Hello everyone

No weight loss and not too much exercise this week either. Ate like a complete pig at the beginning of the week but now my period is here it has settled again, and I am in a great mood, rare my family would probably say!

I havent done much apart from watch footie, footie and more
footie. Oh and I watched that programme again how to look good nakey.
I think I am obsessed.

This heat has been so draining we have one of those giant paddling pools
in the garden so I have been floating around in that in a rubber ring with my
youngest son. He helps me in and calls me nanna!!! Oh what a larf my boy is.

Speaking of boys mine shall be home from school shortly so I had best shift
myself.

Have a lovely evening everyone

Michele

yup true frus.....

i didn't even try too hard lol... but she said i interviewed well.... :dizzy:

oh well trying to get hold of the sister about hte other post as i need to know wahts going on so i can say yes or no to the MRI job..

oh my head...

i have to do n sort out drug lables (fun fun fun in PICU towers!)... some fool ordered ones we never use.. grr.... they are quite expensive too...
they will miss me when i go.. (they know im going... ) well i would like to think lol..

I've had a lovely day - we went over to Kilnsea to walk the dogs on the beach - I wonder how many other people do a 3 hour round trip just to walk their dogs! We've also got another dog 'on loan' for a couple of days while her owners go to some flower show or other - I thought my dogs were active but she's like the duracell bunny, she just keeps on going. She's great - a black lab just like mine - so she fits in well.

I kinda slipped up when it came to lunch though - there is a gorgeous little baker in Patrington which made these very cheap and delicious bacon and cheese pastry turnover thingies... its my free day so I thought I'd treat myself to one... but a second one slid down very quickly as well. (Tricky things those turnovers!) We've been invited out to dinner tonight so I'm trying to plan my strategy for a meal in a restaurant we haven't been to before. Probably prawn salad without the dressing again. :(

You probably interviewed well because you weren't desperate about getting the job so you came across as relaxed and in control.

I hope you get the job you want :crossed:

Sarah - how about grilled salmon? Or take a wild and fancy free day. It might do you some good :D

Hmmmm - not salmon, we eat a lot of salmon at home - but maybe another kind of fish. We were a bit disappointed, the last time they came over here for dinner and they were raving on about the new Indian restaurant in their village so when they asked us out for dinner we thought we'd be going there - and we were delighted because we love nicely cooked spicy food - but then they phone to arrange to meet at a hotel-pub-restaurant place which is mid-way between our homes. :(
